Ashley Gamber scored a game-high 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead the Summerville Bears to a 51-26 rout of Amador on Tuesday in Tuolumne.

Gamber canned three treys on the night, inclduing two in the decisive third quarter where the Bears outscored Amador 19-2 to pull away.

“We weren’t sure if Ashley was even gonna play tonight because she wasn’t feeling well,” said Bears head coach Dave Woods. “But she’s a real tough girl and she played through it — and she was fantastic.”

The Bears led 12-7 after the first period and 22-19 at halftime.

But Summerville’s press started creating turnovers and the Bears started hitting their shots.

“They’re a zone team,” said Woods. “Our pressure was creating steals in the first half but our shots weren’t falling. Amador was packing it in and giving us everything from 18-feet and out. I told the girls to keep shooting and they finally started dropping.

“We’ve been in a horrible shooting slump and it was nice to break out of that.”

Columbia College’s Jarron Crump was named the Player of the Week for the Central Valley Conference.

The 6-0 point guard led the Claim Jumpers to a 2-0 CVC start. He recorded game-highs of 20 points and nine assists in a thrilling 63-61 comeback win against Reedley on Wednesday. He followed with another all-around effort (eight points, nine assists, six rebounds) in a 76-63 win over Porterville on Saturday.
